RRUUC is an easy-access facility.

Resolution on Racial Justice
As individuals, we commit to a new level of engagement, to continually seek ways to use our voices, our privilege, our standing in the community to effect change.
As a congregation, we commit to turning a new page. We declare the obvious—that Black lives matter to our beloved community. We affirm the need for powerful words and collective action, both to call out injustice and to call in love.

RRUUC Land and Labor Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the land on which we worship is the traditional land of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people and the land through which other Indigenous Peoples traveled. We acknowledge that enslaved African people and their descendants likely labored and lived on this land. We recognize these and other people displaced, enslaved, or harmed by past injustices.

We pledge that we will follow our faith in love and work to make our congregation and our larger community more accessible, inclusive, and equitable. We pledge that we will be good stewards of the land by encouraging healthy ecosystems. We pledge to remember the past while building a more just and welcoming future for all.

Crocus

March 10, 2021 • Joseph Saliunas

Hi River Roaders,

After a cold February, we finally have a warm up. It’s good to have some normal winter weather! Let’s take a look at some of the flowers that popped up this past week.

A lone white crocus in the bridge garden.

A pair of yellow crocus in the roots of the Beech tree by the office entrance.

Purple crocus also in the office garden.

Snow drops by the lower parking area.

Witch hazel blooms.

Our first Virginia bluebells popped up on March 9. We’ll track this patch as it comes into flower over the next couple of weeks.

For the past three weeks, the last photo of each blog has been this patch of Dafffodils (or maybe Jonquils) above the lower parking area. I predict blooming in two days (March 11).

I hope you can get outside if possible.

Joe
